WWE RAW 21/2/22 | A Coherent Review.


 It's been a few weeks since I recapped the visual Nyquil that is Monday Night RAW and it didn't make me question my daily consumption so that's nice, I guess. 

Paul Heyman Announces That Brocky Brock Is……. 

Defending the title against Bob the lash man on March 5th at Madison Square Garden. 

I don't mind a rematch since their previous encounter was decent and there's no way in Joe Pesci's universe that Bobby is taking back the big WWE belt. 

The Street Profits vs Alpha Academy. 

A decent tag team affair between all four talented individuals. 

The academy of alphas defeated the former tag champs thanks to Otis's weight crashing down on Montez Ford which led to Chad Gable grabbing Ford's foot for the victory. 

Finn Balor And Tomasso Ciampa vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode. 

Ciampa's theme song should be the main theme for Monday Night RAW in that no one will survive the visual atrocity that fans consume on a weekly basis. 

He led his tag partner in Finn Balor to victory with the almighty roll up to Robert Roode. 

LOGAN PAUL!? REALLY? REALLY? REALLY? 

The Miz was talking about how his next guest was "dashing" and it turned out to be none other than the man that lost millions of dollars over pokemon cards (get f**ked), Logan Paul. 

Can't blame Mr Mike Mizanin. I mean, both Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul are white, blonde and anti-racists. 

A match was announced between The Mysterios, The Miz and Logan Paul at Wrestlemania. 

As of late, The Miz was reliving the early 2010s by feuding with Edge and Rey Mysterio. 

So, at the very least, there is some new blood for Miz to interact with like Logan Paul and Dominik Mysterio. 

I would be lying though if I said I was all that thrilled at the possibility of this tag team match happening. 

Damian Priest defeated Shelton Benjamin To Which……. 

Finnie Baylor challenged the big tall Puerto Rician for the US title next week. Should've been announced for Wrestlemania since that match sounds like a great banger of an opening match. 

You Heard Nikki A.S.H, She's Almost A Superhero. 

Rhea Ripley and that darn superhero, have finally settled the score via a match. And the match ended as quickly as Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes. 

This feud had some potential but unfortunately, the arc is so watered down, I legitimately do give an F about all of this. 


Reggie not only had to battle the stupid "What" chants during his promo but he also battled Dana Brooke for the ugly green belt. And he lost the belt due to a kiss from Dana Brooke. Riveting stuff, guys. 

Bianca Belair Wants To Run All The Way Back In Winning The Big One. 

Becky Lynch heard all of that after she showed up to the ring and said, "you're delusional, you're delusional". 

It's a decent scene that showcases their history aka the one unfaithful moment that shall not be named. 

Oh, and she defeated Doudrop in an okay encounter. 


In an in-ring promo from the man that to quote Rob Zombie, never gonna stop him, he announced an open challenge for a regular exhibition at Wrestlemania. I don't wanna be that guy but *clears my throat* Cody Rhodes? 

RKBRO vs Seth Rollins And Kevin Owens. 

My man Kevin thinks that insulting Texas gets him heel heat but to be fair, he and Elias pissed off Seattle of all cities. 

The main event bout was pretty solid. 

The pairing of Seth "super freak" Rollins and Kevin "just like Fulham, Texas sucks" Owens defeated RKBRO which means the red tag belts will be defended in a triple threat match, playas! 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: I guess the main event match was enjoyable? 

Didn't like: Well, that Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H feud is disappointing, Eh!?

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings").  Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that?  Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week.  However, that conversation can turn the other way.  The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?).  Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right?  Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar).  A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings.  The Nielsen rating system was introduced...
